[Q] jelly bean or ice cream - Galaxy 3 General

hello i have a request to developers. When the source code of jelly bean will get out do you port it or you still continue the port of ICS or CM9 ?

I think a complete port of ICS would be usefull before start porting JB. some features of JB as the new keyboard and google now should be rather easy to implement into ICS, too, while others like vsync and tripple buffering will be way more work to do.

Jellybean won't have flash also it doesn't come out in 2 months. If you want it then pre order the nexus 7 a really damn cheap tablet which is quad core with jellybean with 1 month exclusivity.

It has been years since GB has been launched but still CM7 port is in progress. You got your answer.

Yeah, I totally agree. It would be probably better to finish ICS first and then start to port JB. I think, that JB isnt necessary because it doesnt have many new features and it would take a long time until it would be a fully usable ROM.

I tried Jelly Bean on the Nexus and I thought it was a huge improvement over-all, enough for me to wanting to get the Nexus if it wasn't for the S3 purchase I recently made. The Siri like thing also works so much better than the Samsung's stupid S-Voice which hardly works.
The performance is hugely noticeable too.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

So Jelly Bean is coming. It has some really cool features. Looking forward to see it on our beloved G2. Is it even possible?
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html
It will also be launched for the Nexus S so the G2 should be capable of running it smothly!
It doesn't seem like that big of a jump compared to the leap from Gingerbread to 4.0. I think the devs will sort it out quickly :good:

I was thinking the same thing. I mean, that in no way is meant to imply it will be even slightly easy, but I think it will be easier than gingerbread to ICS Hopefully! I will be buying the Nexus 7 anyways so no big worries for a rush there, but I would still love to have it on my phone!
Project Butter improves Android 4.1's speed to a silky-smooth 60FPS
As part of its unveiling of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Google has unveiled Project Butter, a major effort to squash Android's frequent problems with device lag, as well as Systrace to help diagnose performance. Project Butter lets the CPU and graphics run in parallel, rather than crash into each other, and has a big impact on both real and perceived speed: the entire interface runs at 60 frames per second on sufficiently fast hardware. Graphics are now triple-buffered to keep scrolling and transitions humming along, and the processor will swing into full gear the moment you touch the screen to keep input lag to a minimum. Systrace, in the meantime, will help developers stamp out what performance hiccups remain. The tracing tool will be a part of the Jelly Bean SDK, so every coder can get an app running in tip-top shape.

If the G2 is not officially getting ICS it wont get this. We still dont even have the official drivers needed for ICS, probably won't (we're waiting for the ones from the Desire HD to be released).
If there is one thing I learned from this experience is to get a Nexus device.
Thanks

I'm really hoping that our talented G2 devs can at least get Jelly Bean on our devices. I'm not going to expect anything beyond that however, given the age of our phones. All that talk about Jelly Bean's "Project Butter" has me worried, though. The only major bugs left in our ICS roms are mostly graphics related (garbled text, random visual glitches), this may be a large roadblock for us.
For an "incremental" 0.1 update, they've packed quite a bit of improvements.

Wouldn't those updates be related to CPU scheduling stuff and other „interesting” parts like that ? I mean, if we get the graphics stack done for 4.0 (HTC, where is that goddamn Desire HD update ?!) it wouldn't be that much of a bother to add some optimizations here and there.
Alas, I am not a dev and no one has seen the source code yet. Better wait for the source to come out and someone to look at it before making assumptions
If the devs can get 4.0 working, 4.1 shouldn't be that big of a deal. We just REALLY need that Desire HD update to come out.
As someone else said, you would need the G2/Vision to get ICS officially before you can have much hope at all of it getting JellyBean. Though we got a lot of ICS roms for the G2 (With the exception of the camera working as well as GB) so who knows.

I think they will cal it cm9.1.
But since they named android 2.2 CM6 and 2.3 CM7 you maybe right.
To anwser your question: No it is not too early because devices with CM9 wont run any slower just because there is an beter and newer CM. So it will only speed up development. The only negative play here could be jealousy towards galaxy nexus users.

The CM team has officially stated that their numbering scheme is tied to the code name. That's why they skipped CM8. It corresponded to Honeycomb, which they never ported.
I was wondering if the devs would consider polishing our 4.0 roms? I heard linaro Rom is very good.

Not necessarily. Android updates tends to be updated every 6 months or so if I recall. ICS was late last year, so it kind of makes sense. My guess is that development has seemed slow for several reason.
1) Drastic changes, especially in the camera, from 2.3 to 4.0
2) Honeycomb never was truly "released", thus a gap that allowed Gingerbread to be polished.
3) CM servers were down for a while, possibly cutting into early nightlies for CM9.
I had a fourth point and now I can't remember it. Maybe something about manufacturers being slow this time around. I remember reading that it typically took manufacturers 60 days on average to update their devices after a release. Seems longer now (again, possibly with changes).
Maybe I'm completely off. I didn't join the Android team until 2.2 so I never knew the older versions. :laugh:
Edit: I quoted the wrong post

will we see SDK port of Jelly Beans?

hi all the awesome developers
do you think anyone will manage to get a working SDK port on our device?
and a question: if HTC wont release a kernel for JB for our device, we will get stuck without camera or we could use the ICS kernel?
thanks, and good luck at porting

I'm betting that AOSP ROMs should be able to be ported with just an ICS kernel, much of 4.1 is UI improvements rather than deep changes like 4.0.

Most likely not. There are many under the hood changes that will not work without the proper source but to be honest. Why in such a rush, The ICS source is still a few months away

4.0 and 4.1 is totally different from 2.3 to 4.0 so you're completely wrong here.
The answer is. It is possible but someone needs to do it and most developers have moved on.

We will see. The notification bar alone will require massive work. Not to mention the changes they added to the kernel to support the tegra closed source drivers. So we will see what happens when the nexus gets the update.
Not to mention few will use the sdk to make a rom

we will have an official fully working ICS in a few weeks, and I think the AOSP ICS roms are good enough for daily use, so its just the right time to start working on JB!
It says here ........http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-jelly-bean-update-details-samsung-ram-98158/ ......that JB will be rolled out to 3 year old devices, some by July, and one of these is the Nexus S. So if the Nexus S will be capable of running JB we might even be lucky enough to see an official release for our DHD's by the end of the year maybe!!?? Atleast should get a decent port!! Looks more promising to see some Jelly Bean goodness than I first thought anyway!!

remember. ICS was released mid october, and we still dont have official yet :/
True, but ICS was a major change to Gingerbread whereas JB is supposed to be an incremental upgrade, so maybe if we do get it officially it will be a bit quicker getting to us than ICS!!?? Can always hope
LC said he is waiting for source, and then he will build a rom.
he also said JB is a small update to the source, so it wont be a problem to build a working rom. (or at least this is how I read it XD)
Our DHDs are due an official ICS rom in the coming weeks. Once this happens, surely it won't take long to get the camera fully working in ICS and JB update should merely be incremental. I'm not a dev though, so could be wrong.

P.S :
please hit THANKS if my info thread of JB was helpfull
So it has come 2 this.. we dont even have ics 100percent working and already JB released. My question is. Projects like paranoid android.. will it continue 2 build on cm9 ics or andon all the hard work and move 2 JB? Even cm9? Its so close 2 perfect.. what now? Do they abandon or is there a way 2 keep building but on JB instead of ICS?
Can't wait for JB roms
I know my thirst quencher is here now...
Desperately waiting for any JB custom rom for NOTE.....
Hugs to developers who work so hard for people like me who can only install
I guess once jb goes to aosp expect alphas on cm10 to start flowing
If I am correct it was much much harder porting cm7 to cm9 than what cm9 to cm10 will be
It will be like cm6 to cm 7 port

I'm not an expert on this, the galaxy note is my first android, so I may be wrong. but I say this because, the navigation bar, notification drawer look very similar to PA phone mode. the gallery looks very similar, yes JB has more features, its just it looks similar. basically i see that the ui in PA phone mode does not differ much with JB's ui.
the video i watched that shows JB is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXarFwqfdqc
and this picture looks similar to it cm9 as a whole.

I don't see any reason that Samsung couldn't get it out by the end of this year if not sooner.

But they shouldn't have taken so long to release ICS, and when they did it had pretty big flaws.
P.S I find your use of ellipses disturbing.
If they took time it might be for a reason. And they have to test it a million times before releasing.so obviously they have tried there best and will be working on a fix right now.running such a huge company in this era is not childs play.they have products in every possible electronic fields.
Samsung have an entire department on smartphones and tablets, Samsung Mobile. They are working on a fix, but it should have been tested for before release.
I tried to create a hybrid of CM9 and the JB leak for the GNex. But I was unable to because of some lame error in TWRP...
I constantly get something like this:
Code:
FAILED TO FLASH: /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 0)
I tried flashing from internal and external sd's. Anyone got any clue?

Will Samsung skip ICS and give us JB straight?

I really doubt it will comes true... but worth of dreaming....

Nope, sadly. I'd like to keep this tab for awhile longer and it would be nice if Samsung showed up Apple and keeps updating it (and other recent Galaxy devices) for at least one more version. But, nah. Maybe it will be easier for someone to port 4.1 when the 4.0 source eventually gets out?
But if not...**** it, who cares. A few interface tweaks and some nice features, but the 7.7 will still be highly usable with ICS, I would say.
Theoretically the binary blob drivers that come with ICS source should be able to be used in JB builds? I'm guessing
The main obstacle in current ICS dev is lack of ICS drivers esp as they are closed sammy blobs

Unless of course he is traveling salesman. Travel with Nexus 7 is somewhat restricted to about 100 meters.

What's so special about any new android version

I wish to know that why people get excited over a new android version. I mean we have all functionality including flash on ics so why be excited over jelly bean or any new version. I mean isnt android ics perfect already on sgs3 . Why want to update to new versions. iOS or windows users get happy over an update because they r restricted like recent introduction of panorama just recently in ios and micro sd card option for windows user, as far as I say how has android improved since gingerbread.ics seems perfect to me coz it's already buttery smooth. Just wondering ?
exactly, Android is boss right now, so what's wrong with getting excited over some extra bits and bobs?
You wouldn't be asking this if you had experienced Jelly Bean on the GSIII after using ICS.
Jelly Bean is wayyyy smoother, also there are obviously many many more improvements over ICS that you or I will probably never notice, but they do make our experience better.
you can use flash in jb. I can do in jb same things I done in ics. System now is faster and smoother
Because we love flashing new rom.

Yeah i know u can use flash on Jelly bean too. I have actually flashed alot of roms, in fact using the latest JB right now .... yup agreed google now is one of the things in jelly bean, but still. Anyhow I am always happy to c new updates but i think we only see marginal improvements coz its already perfect as ics. and to be honest speed and stability is something which is exactly the same after some period of use either on ics or jelly bean.
I am looking forward for 200 hundred new features. =D

Well based on your logic, android should stay on ICS and not try to improve things cause ICS is perfect......

If you adon't like flashing and trying out new things, xda is not the place for you. The best thing i like about Google is the continous work on updates or else it would become an ios...

I wish to know that why people get excited over a new android version. I mean we have all functionality including flash on ics so why be excited over jelly bean or any new version. I mean isnt android ics perfect already on sgs3 . Why want to update to new versions. iOS or windows users get happy over an update because they r restricted like recent introduction of panorama just recently in ios and micro sd card option for windows user, as far as I say how has android improved since gingerbread.ics seems perfect to me coz it's already buttery smooth. Just wondering ?

Because this Android wonderful phone i mean wonderful toy has lot to give for time pass to all these people which you can't understand. Their life almost move around the phone only. Sleeping, waking up everything its addiction they live their life. Their life is dedicated to phone. Phone, phone and just phone
Or you suggest what else is the best time pass? Watching TV? NO! reading newspaper, uh so boring! The same news if read on S3, wow what a charm :laugh:
If they are missing lot of important things in life, so what! they have S3 weapon in their hand, no body can beat them.
So proud of you the XDA army, keep it up :good:
I will say this from what I have noticed and I noticed it back when Honeycomb was coming out. Everyone said "Oh Honeycomb is where it is, it's so nice and smooth and the UI is beautiful screw GB" then when ICS came out it was "HC is laggy and sucks, ICS is the sh*T and is so fast and smooth, it's what HC should have been" etc.... Now that JB is out you hear a lot of the same about ICS as you did about HC when ICS came out. It's just an observation and find it kinda funny

Well thats a good thing if you think about it, that means each new release is better than the previous one.
Also HC never really received great praises, it is the least version of android talked about ( also cause it was tablets but apparently wasn't that great).

There are hundreds of new tweaks and many new features are being introduced in every new android updates. Just Google don't advertise them like other phone manufacturers . If android gets stuck with Jb and no other future updates, then the whole android modding community will be clueless about what to do next.
